About

Navitas Ventures is the education venturing arm of Navitas. With teams in 50 cities around the world, we build, invest and partner in education innovation. We are a dynamic team that works with founders, entrepreneurs, tertiary institutions and industry partners in flexible ways. Navitas Ventures does not have a set amount of capital which must be invested in a limited period, but seeks to invest approximately $10m per year. It is looking for long-term investments in companies which will work in synergy with the Navitas education business. Typically, it will look to initially own between 5-15% of a company's equity, with potential to grow this in follow-on rounds. Navitas was an Australian education startup 20+ years ago and pioneered the pathways business model, now a global multi billion dollar industry. In 2014, Forbes ranked Navitas one of the world's most innovative growth companies and today Navitas is a $2b education company serving more than 80,000 students in 50 countries.

Exto Partners
Exto Partners is a diversified private investment firm. We invest in and work with both emerging and established companies to achieve their potential. Exto Partners specialises in providing both expansion and venture capital. We have a portfolio of investments across a broad range of industries, including: education, industrial safety, retail, health, clean tech, mining services and online marketplaces. Unlike other private equity and venture capital firms, we do not subscribe to the theory of focusing on total portfolio returns. We do not assume some investments will fail and hope the poor performance will be outweighed by one or two big successes. Exto Partners concentrates on building core value in each of its portfolio companies rather than relying on financial engineering. We establish innovative, sustainable and high growth business strategies and invest heavily in both people and systems to enable each company to successfully execute on the strategy. We invest in private Australian companies and take a medium term view on business performance. We take meaningful equity positions (30%+) and deliver hands on collaborative engagement with founders, boards and management.
